The Unwritten #1 is a Must Read!!!

Posted on May 15th, 2009 in Comic Books by Craig

the_unwritten_cover_01Vertigo has launched the new series “The Unwritten” written by Mike Carey and drawn by Peter Gross. The first issue is a steal for the price of $1.00 and filled with 40 pages of content. I found the story to be captivating and a nice departure from capes and cowls. The art was not quite my cup of tea, but I suspect that it will grow on me. It has received glowing reviews from both IGN and Comic Book Resources. For only $1.00 you can’t go wrong in checking out this first issue. If you have already read it please leave a comment and let us know what you thought.
